Benjamin Moore

Skyscraper

765

Skyscraper reads as a clean, light blue with a cool cyan base and minimal green shift. At an LRV of 68.77, it reflects a substantial amount of light and will brighten walls noticeably without washing out in south-facing rooms. The undertone leans slightly aqua, which keeps it from appearing too sterile under artificial lighting.

It coordinates well with Chantilly Lace as a trim white, and pairs naturally with Beach Glass for a tonal blue-green scheme. Hale Navy provides strong contrast on lower cabinetry or accent walls, while Gray Owl and November Skies offer softer adjacent options.

Skyscraper in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
